cancel recording live

How do you cancel a live recording with 15 minutes left to record but you wish to stop it at that point. Will selecting "cancel recording" delete it also or just leave the program recorded up until that point you wish to stop it

Hi, @Spunkster2010. You can cancel your recording by:

Tune to the recording program, Press the RECORD (R) button

 
Select "Stop Recording Episode" and press SELECT
 

Select either "Keep It" or "Delete It," press SELECT


This method is for DIRECTV via Satellite service. Please let me know if you need more help.

Record "Team A"

Record "Team B"

You can select the "Cancel Recording". The recorded video will also automatically be removed from your "My Library".

That is not true. When you cancel the recording it stays in the library which is good. You are not paying attention to my question. I tested it by taping 5 minutes of a game and after cancel recording is selected that 5 minute segment still is in your libary which is a good thing. Problem solved on my end, Not sure why you are giving out wrong information

We apologize for the confusion, and we're glad you're able to solve the cancel recording issue. To clarify, if the program had already started recording or the episodes with a series recorded, the program recordings would need to be deleted from My Library.
